| Abstract:
|
Workflows are activities involving the co-ordinated execution of multiple tasks performed by entities, in the enterprise environment. Workflow systems support the encoding and execution of workflows. A workflow management system is proposed, in which a considerable attention is paid on the utilisation of the services provided by the underlying flexible database formalism. Flexible database formalisms must permit the modelling of trends, seasonality (periodicity), cyclic variations of trends and irregular activities (no predictable patterns) in the enterprise environment This paper will be restricted in workflow management system design, and activity scheduling, in a post relational environment whereas relational operators, utilise paths (links between domains), in order to express interdependencies between activities.
